Test solutions
- Vehicle:

- Details on test solutions:
- The test concentrations were chosen in accordance with the results of a no GLP pre-test (range-finding test), whose relevant Raw Data were archived under the code of the present study.
Five concentrations of test item in a geometric series, differing by a constant equal to 3.2, were tested; tested concentrations were 0.01, 0.031, 0.098, 0.313 and 1.0 mg test item/L.
The highest tested concentration of 1.0 mg/L corresponding to the maximum solubility of the test item obtained in the test medium.
Since the test item is insoluble in water, it was added to the algal medium by the means of a solvent vehicle (acetone). Therefore a solvent control (algal medium whit the same concentration of acetone used as carrier) was added in order to verify the absence of toxic effect due to the solvent; moreover a negative control (algal medium without test item) was prepared.
The test medium was prepared as follows:
the day of the test start, a 10000 mg/L Stock Solvent Solution (SS) was prepared by direct weighing 0.1000 g of test item into 10.0 mL of acetone.
The resulting solution was observed to be dark red, with no undissolved test item.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- The study was performed with the unicellular, fresh-water green algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata strain (formerly known as Selenastrum capricornutum), cultured in the laboratories of the Test Facility and originally purchased from the Institute of Plant Physiology of the University of Göttingen, Germany.
The algae were cultured in a climatic chamber at 24 °C ± 2 °C under continuous uniform illumination in the range 4440 - 8880 Lux in the spectral range 400-700 nm. The culture medium was the same of the test medium; the stock cultures were weekly transferred to fresh medium and maintained in continuous shaking to ensure the necessary amount of CO2 and to keep algae in suspension. Cultures containing deformed or abnormal cells were discarded. Only exponentially growing algal cultures have been used to start the test.

From Stock Solvent Solution all the other stock solutions in acetone were prepared. In Table 1 details of preparation of test stock solutions used to prepare the test solutions are reported.

These test item solutions were red, with no undissolved test item.
In order to prepare the test item concentrations in the culture medium, 20.0 μL of each Stock Solvent Solution was introduced into 200.0 mL of culture medium as reported in Table 2.

The obtained solutions appeared clear and light red, with no undissolved test item; after pH check the test was start. - Details on test conditions:
- The treatment vessels were identified by experiment number, group and replicate number.
All the described procedures were conducted under a laminar flow bench to ensure the sterility of the algal cultures.
For the test concentrations, for the negative control and for the solvent control, 100 mL capacity conical glass flasks capped with air permeable stoppers were used.
Three replicates for each test concentrations, six for negative control were prepared.
Since the test item is coloured, to avoid adsorption of photosynthetically active light that could limit growth of algal cultures during the exposure, the reduction of the light path by reducing the volume of test solution was adopted as recommended in the OECD 23 (2000).
At test start, 45 mL of test solutions were poured into a test flask and inoculated with algae to obtain a starting cell density of about 104 cells/mL. Two further flasks for each group were prepared from the first one transferring 15 mL of test solutions.
The algal inoculum was taken from a pre-culture, started 3 days before the beginning of the test in order to ensure that the assay was performed with exponentially growing algal population. The cell density of the inoculum was around 106 cells/mL.
The test flasks were incubated in a climatic chamber, under continuous illumination and constant shaking. The flasks were randomly distributed under the light and were replaced every day during the test.
Temperature:
the incubation temperature was continuously monitored during the course of the study by a PT100 probe installed in the environmental test chamber. It was in the range 24.0– 24.1°C with a mean value of 24.0°C and a standard deviation of 0.02°C. The temperature range provided by OECD guideline is 24 ± 2°C. The temperature values during the test were within the provided range by guideline.
Light conditions:
continuous illumination; light intensity was ranged between 4486 and 4880 Lux, within the OECD recommended range (4440 - 8880 Lux).
Test duration:
72 hours
Test medium:
Reconstituted water according to OECD Guideline No. 201, 2011 (see Appendix D).
Test medium pH was measured with a portable pH meter at the beginning of the test and in each test flask at the end of the test. For fresh solutions the pH values were measured sampling an aliquot immediately after test solutions preparation, before pouring it in the test flasks. For spent solutions (after 72 hours), pH were measured in each test flask.
At the end of the test the pH value of solvent control replicates was between 8.87 and 8.90; (mean value 8.88) and it varied by a maximum of 1.00 units, in compliance with the values recommended by OECD guideline stating that the pH values should not increase more than 1.5 units during the test period.
The maximum variation of the pH for the negative control was 1.02, according to the OECD 201 (2011). - Reference substance (positive control):

(*) Cell density at time 0 h: 104 cell/mL.
At the test end the cell density in the solvent control increased on average by a factor of 481. This value complies with the validity criterion of the test, according to the mentioned guidelines, which indicates a minimum increase factor of 16.
The solvent control also met the other validity criterion, with a coefficient of variation of daily growth rates of 17.2 % (maximum acceptable value 35%) and a coefficient of variation of average growth in solvent control replicates during the test period of 1.6 %(maximum acceptable value 7%).
Growth rate
In test item solutions, the algal growth rate (r) after 72 hours of exposure was inhibited by a value of 1.0 % for the concentration 1.0 mg test item/L compared to the solvent control.
For all test item concentrations no significant biological effect was shown in comparison to the solvent control for end-point growth rate after 72 hours.
Yield
After 72 hours of exposure, the yield (Y), as difference of algal density between the end and the beginning of the test, was inhibited by a minimum value of 0.2% for the concentration of 0.313 mg test item/L to a maximum value of 5.4% for the highest test item concentration of 1.0 mg/L, compared to the solvent control.
For all test item concentrations no significant biological effect was shown in comparison to the solvent control for end-point yield.
